This September I am taking the PM Gods back to school. EE's monthly thread
Could not really think of much for this month, been busy, as you can read in my log and rather preoccupied with a large purchase.
9-3
--------------------------
Did 2 boxes of halves today
Box 1: 2/40%
Box 2: 1/40%
--------------------------
9-6
--------------------------
Five boxes of halves done today.
Box 1: 1/40% - 1/Walker - 1/Franklin
Box 2: Skunked
Box 3: Skunked
Box 4: Skunked
Box 5: Skunked
1 roll of CWR Quarters - Skunked
At one of my dump banks, I saw about 10-15 rolls, somewhat old and taped shut ripped open, had to have gone through the machine. Oh well.. who knows what goodies could Have been found.
On a side note, I am starting to think that perhaps my favorite teller might be interested.. too many things point to that but I could be wrong.. usually am.
Todays auction was a bust
---------------------------
9-7
---------------------------
Dumped $1000 in halves, still no nickels or dimes for me.. making me a little depressed.
Auction was a bust, garage sales on the other hand, paid out a little.
14k Shaeffer Pen, paid $2 for it. (0.0169)
Picked up 4 Colombian Expo halves from a local antique store for $10 ea, he had been holding them for me for almost 4 months lol. ($40.00/1.4468)
----------------------------
9-8
----------------------------
Vlad and I feared this auction would be bad but it turned out quite well for both of us. The dental gold the auctioneer didnt want to touch, in fact she gasped when she saw it and no one else wanted it and I offered one buck, they took it without even asking anyone else, just said SOLD! I scooped it right up bare handed and was quite giddy.
The 10k high school ring I simply love, the style of it is beyond awesome, reminds me of the 50's I didnt grow up in.
Picked up a coin, not sure if its legit or not but I figured I scored well so far, I will risk the $3 on it. I am almost certain its a Spanish Reale. The late owner of the estate had lots of Spanish stuff up, he was a collector so I guess its possible its real. I will take it down to the coin shop and have them check it out.
I have an interesting little pin I picked up. On the front its got N AU Dames on it with a big O and an arrow
On the back it has J.A.S and below that K.U 54, it is unmarked otherwise, though it has the color and patina of 10k.
It tests 10k but I dont want to file it to test to see if its plated, I would like to sell it on Ebay if at all possible, its an old piece.
14k cuff links ($1.00/0.1237)
10k Socony pin ($1.00/0.0255)
14K Necklace with Opal ($20.00/0.0150)
14k pin ($30.00/0.0337)
10k 1952 High school Ring ($60.00/0.1475)
17k Dental Gold ($1.00/0.0865)
And for the good news, or at least it is good for now at least to the point of the underwriter saying NO.
In the middle of the loan process of buying my first home. Will be nice to have a space specifically for my coins and such. Living in a small studio isnt the best and it will be awesome to expand into a 1300 SF home with 2 car garage and work shop on a quarter acre. Not sure yet how this will impact my CRH or Auctions. I might have to sell some of my finds to buy a riding mower because its too much to push mow, not to mention I dont own a mower, my landlord pays for landscaping.
